The traditional display display congratulates the Cleveland Cavaliers for their first NBA Championship, the first championship in any major sport for the city since 1964.

The display – made from over a ton of butter — features the traditional butter cow and calf standing next to Cavaliers mascots “Moondog” and “Sir C.C.”

The Larry O’Brien NBA championship trophy is also rendered in butter.
